About Us

An estimated 1,500,000 Canadians are waiting for surgery, a diagnostic scan, or an appointment with a specialist. As a family doctor in the public healthcare system, I see the pain and frustration every day. My patients would ask, “what are my options?”

There are hundreds of private, accredited surgeons available in Canada who can see you in a matter of weeks—not years. But the private system is hard to navigate with its many rules and regulations.That’s why I created Surgency—a free resource to learn about your options in Canada's private health care system, and connect you with vetted surgeons at Canadian private surgery clinics.
